So, I’ve been in a relationship with a Pisces for a while, and boy, it’s been a wild ride. I’ve always heard about those so – called “toxic traits” of Pisces, and I decided to see if I could overcome them in our relationship. Here’s how it all went down.
Step 1: Recognizing the Traits
First things first, I had to figure out what these so – called toxic traits were. I talked to some friends who’d dated Pisces, read a few online forums, and did some self – reflection on our relationship. Some of the traits I noticed were moodiness, being overly sensitive, and a tendency to withdraw into their own world.
Step 2: Communication
I knew communication was key. So, I sat down with my Pisces partner one evening. I told them that I loved them, but I’d noticed some patterns that were causing a bit of tension in our relationship. I used “I” statements, like “I feel a bit lost when you suddenly withdraw” instead of blaming them. To my surprise, they were really open to the conversation. They said they didn’t even realize they were doing some of these things.
Step 3: Setting Boundaries
After that heart – to – heart, we decided to set some boundaries. For example, when my partner was feeling moody, they’d let me know they needed some alone time, but they’d also promise to come back and talk to me later. And I promised not to push them too hard when they were in that withdrawn state. It was like we were building a little rulebook for our relationship.
Step 4: Encouraging Hobbies
I noticed that when my partner was too focused on our relationship, their mood swings got worse. So, I encouraged them to pick up some hobbies. They’d always been into painting, so I got them some new art supplies. They started spending more time in their art studio, and it seemed to really calm them down. It gave them an outlet for their emotions other than our relationship.
Step 5: Celebrating Small Wins
As time went on, we started to see some positive changes. When my partner managed to communicate instead of withdrawing, or when they were less moody during a tough week, we’d celebrate it. We’d go out for ice cream or have a movie night. These small celebrations really boosted our relationship and made us feel like we were a team.
Final Thoughts
So, can you overcome Pisces toxic traits in a relationship? In my experience, yes! It takes a lot of work, communication, and patience. But if you’re willing to put in the effort, you can have a healthy and happy relationship with a Pisces. Just remember, every relationship is unique, and these tips might not work for everyone. But it’s definitely worth a shot!
